2009 Ford KA 1.2L Petrol · AF09 GWL

The 2009 Ford Ka presents as roadworthy following a pass on 17 February 2026 at 77,979 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across the recent record. The most recent test showed no defects, though the prior day's failure on 16 February 2026 at 77,972 miles is anomalous as the DVSA entry records no defects, suggesting an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. No advisories or component wear items appear across the four-year span reviewed. Annual mileage sits low at roughly 4,587 per year against the vehicle's 17-year age, with 77,979 miles recorded overall. The record shows gentle accumulation: 72,964 miles on 26 February 2024, 75,174 on 17 February 2025, and 77,979 by February 2026, equating to around 2,000 to 3,000 miles yearly. A February 2024 failure shares the same zero-defect anomaly as the 2026 entry. The sparse, clean history gives little evidence of neglect, though long idle periods implied by low use can allow corrosion or perished rubber to develop unseen. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and subframe corrosion given the car's age and likely static storage. The brake discs and calipers warrant checking for seizure after low-mileage dormancy, and exhaust emissions should be verified despite clean tests. The twin zero-defect failures on 26 February 2024 and 16 February 2026 merit clarification with the selling garage to confirm no suppressed mechanical basis.
